About

Prof. Constantinos V. Chrysikopoulos received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering (1982) from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and M.S. in Chemical Engineering (1984) from Stanford University, Engineer Degree (1986) and Ph.D (1991) both in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University. He worked as Post-Doctoral Research Associate (1991) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford University; Assistant, Associate and Full Professor (1991-2004) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Irvine (UCI); and Full Professor (2004-2013) in the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Patras. Prof. Chrysikopoulos joined the Technical University of Crete in 2013, where he is currently a Professor in the School of Environmental Engineering. Prof. Chrysikopoulos is the author of 97 peer-reviewed articles in professional journals, 4 chapters in refereed professional books, 203 other publications, and his Web of Science h-index is 33. Prof. Chrysikopoulos's research has focused on various experimental as well as theoretical aspects of contaminant transport in porous media and environmental systems. Current research areas include the fate and transport of nanoparticles and biocolloids (e.g. viruses, bacteria) in subsurface formations, transport of polydisperse colloids in natural fractures, and dissolution of multi-component nonaqueous phase liquids in porous media. He has also worked in the areas of atmospheric dispersion of volatile organic emissions from aeration of contaminated groundwater treatment facilities, mathematical modeling of reactive transport in subsurface formations, and the development of ideal tracers for groundwater and hydrothermal studies. Furthermore, his research group is exploring the possibility of reducing environmental pollution with the employment solar powered reactors for anaerobic wastewater treatment, and the development of an environmentally friendly technology for groundwater remediation using acoustic waves.
